- Comment on Jellyfin won't fetch the good metadata 3 days ago:
I use Sonarr.
Even if you rip your media, it’s just really good at organizing your media files when you “import” them, plus it can fetch the metadata itself and put it into NFO files, which Jellyfin can both read from and write to, if you enable it. This allows for faster library scans and effectively eliminates the issue of mis-identified episodes/shows.
- Comment on Is Miss England's AI round dangerous or progressive? 3 days ago:
It could be seen as “forward thinking” in the sense of being open to and accepting of technological progress.
Personally, I think it’s just trend chasing. AI might become deeply useful for many applications someday, but it’s only actually useful for a fraction of what people use it for at the moment.

Overall progress is not an aspect of Rogue and is not at all an inherent attribute of Roguelikes.

- Comment on Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says 2 weeks ago:
A bunch of the earlier ones had their batteries replaced under warranty and are effectively only a couple years old. They’re also dirt cheap and undervalued at the moment.

- Comment on Superfan Ben Stiller Has A Star Trek Pitch, Says It’s Important For Franchise To Return To Big Screen 2 weeks ago:
IDK, Ben Stiller made Severance, which is pretty thoughtful, philosophical sci-fi. He’s got the chops and the interest in making something, the idea leaves me cautiously optimistic.

- Comment on As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act 4 weeks ago:
Bigger clients negotiate bulk discounts, basically. But the other factor at play here is supply and demand. The higher the demand, the higher the price for the supply. Household demand has remained more or less the same, but because data center demand has shot up, prices have too.

Exactly. “Alternate timeline fantasy with some mythology vibes”, something like that.
- Comment on Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster 1 month ago:
What’s different is that most people will see it as “tech stuff” and mentally file it in a drawer with spare extension cords and adapters. They don’t care to deeply study or catalog things.
People writ-large don’t care about proper genre labels either, they just kinda pick a vibe and guess off of it. Look at all the -core suffixed aesthetic names that cropped up in the last decade.
- Comment on Homophobia implies the existence of jumpscare Yaoi/Yuri 1 month ago:
I love the hell out of that anime but it’s difficult to recommend to people because explaining the setting so it doesn’t make people uncomfortable would spoil several of the plot twists.
- Comment on Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster 1 month ago:
Agreed. But most people have neither the time nor capacity to track all of these specifics, so popular discussions of AI-related technologies inevitably break down into a mud pit of people talking past each other about various different topics.
Which, if you think about it, is true of most public discussions about any complex topic. It almost invariably revolves into a miscommunication or a discussion about semantics.
- Comment on Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster 1 month ago:
It’s also the other way around. What was called AI in the past is now called bots. Simple algorithms that approximate the appearance of intelligence like even the earliest chess engines, for instance, were also called AI.

The 2024 democratic primary was effectively nonexistent because Biden was running for re-election. Don’t be ridiculous.
- Comment on Age verification and the enshitification of streaming will help reduce the decline in computer literacy in under 18s 1 month ago:
As a 90’s kid, I think we’re roughly on-par.
I grew up with Windows (95, then 98), DOS, MacOS 8, 9, and X, and used several Apple II computers at school. I was able to use dial-up on my own by like 7?
Built my first custom gaming PC at 12 or maybe 13. It ran XP, which needed a bit of tweaking to run some of my old DOS games.
Man, I do not miss dealing with Sound Blaster drivers.

How did this get past the regulations?
It’s almost like DOGE specifically dismantled the parts of the government that were investigating and attempting to regulate Musk’s companies.
